LORD MANCE Introduction This appeal arises from steps taken by the appellant, Dallah Real Estate and Tourism Holding Company ("Dallah"), to enforce in England a final award dated 23 June 2006 made in its favour in the sum of US$20,588,040 against the Government of Pakistan ("the Government") by an International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") arbitral tribunal sitting in Paris. The Government has hitherto succeeded in resisting enforcement on the ground that "the arbitration agreement was not valid .. under the law of the country where the award was made" (Arbitration Act 1996, s.103(2)(b), reflecting Article V(I)(a) of the New York Convention), that is under French law. Dallah now appeals. The award was made against the Government on the basis that it was "a true party" to an Agreement dated 10 September 1996 expressed to be made between and signed on behalf of Dallah and Awami Hajj Trust ("the Trust"). The Agreement contains an arbitration clause referring disputes or differences betwe...

Sabyasachi Mukharji, J.1. These appeals and the special leave petition are directed against the decision of the High Court of Gujarat, upholding the right of the mortgagors to redeem the properties before the period stipulated in the deeds, as well as the right of the mortgagors to recover possession of the properties from the tenants and/or the mortgages without resort to the relevant Rent Restriction Act. All these matters were separately canvassed before us as these involved varying facts, yet the fundamental common question is, whether long term mortgages in the present inflationary market in fast moving conditions are clogs on equity of redemption and as such the mortgages are redeemable at the mortgagors' instance before the stipulated period and whether the tenants who have been inducted by the mortgagees can be evicted on the termination of the mortgage or do these tenants enjoy protection under the relevant Rent Restriction Acts. One basic fact that was emphasised in all these...
